It's an article in dutch, confirming the new asus 8 inch reader. The model is not based on e-ink technology but on LCD (which allows for 64 gray scale values).
Response time should be better by using LCD, however the contrast ratio is of less quality then with e-ink devices.

Target price is a whopping 456€

and is scheduled for this october.
Screenshot in the article looks like the DR-900
